[c-nsp] 7204VXR rebooted by watchdog hard reset with PA-FE in slot 1

[Youssef Bengelloun-Zahr]

Hello community,

I received a 7204VXR chassis with a I/O controler (no FE ports on it) et
plugged in it an old NPE-400 plus 2 PA-FE.

PA-FE 1 in in slot 1.

PA-FE 2 is in slot 2.

Upgraded my bootloader with c7200-boot-mz.120-22.S.bin and my version of IOS
is c7200-adventerprisek9-mz.122-33.SRD.bin.

Here is my problem :

When PA-FE1 is in slot1, the router loops during boot and the following
appears :

*Mar  8 05:20:09.459: %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested by console. Reload
Reason: Reload command.

When I remove the PA-FE from slot 1 or insert it in another slot (2,3 or 4),
everything works like a charm. Moreover, swapping with another PA-FE in
slot1 causes the same problem !?!

Here is a sh controller of the PA-FE in question (but inserted in slot 3) :

I have been googling around but nothing very concluant so far.

Any clues ?

Thanks.

Best regards.

Cheers,
